THE CARE OF HOGS.

Health and Growth OfPigs Dependent Upon
tho Prevention of Indigestion.
There Is no animal on the farm more
likely to be neglected than the hog, and
yet in many sections of the West he is
one of the many sources of income. On
this account it is important that he
should have better care, which would,
in many cases, prevent the heavy losses
that occur from disease. Swine
breeders do not, as rule, consider that
the hog is, by nature, an eater of green
food, and dependent in great measure
on grazing.
The villager knows how eager the pigs
shut up in the pen during the whole
year are for the grass and weeds from
the garden near at hand; and partly
because he wants to get rid of his weeds
and partly because he thinks the pigs
will like little green stuff, he throws
the refuse to them. He does not reflect
that green food is the natural susten-
ance of the hog, as it is of the COW,
while by feeding on corn alone, he is
keeping the pigs under an artificial
state.
The question is, how best to supply
the hog with food that will most nearly
answer in the place of pasture grass,
for the natural instinct for green and
soft food should be gratifed through
whatever material may be at hand.
Health and growth during the sum-
mer may depend largely upon the sue
cess in preventing indigestion, and the
morbid state of the blood which comes
of this If no vegetables can be spared
for this purpose, it will pay to buy
them, not on account of the mere nutri-
ment contained, but for the dietetic and
sanitary reasons mentioned above.
Coal ashes, charred coal, and charcoal
from wood, should be within reach at
all times. In q general way, and by
the use of divers suitable agencies, the
bowels should be kept in condition
the opposite of being constipated that
the blood may be neither improved nor
charged with unhealthy secretions. BE-
acting with discretion in the manner
pointed out, and protecting them from
inclement weather at the same time,
thrift during the entire season is likely
to be the result.-Ndtioi1ak LtUe- Stock

FARM AND FlRESIDE.

Handle hog properly and it will
prove one of the most profitable animals
on the farm.
-Neatness pays. Keep your stock
curried, stables cleaned, rubbish picked
up and roadsides and moving fields free
from bushes and weeds.
Ginger Snaps: Two cups of mo-
lasses, one of lard, tablespoonful
each of ginger and soda, the latter dis

-Flat-irons that show disposition

should, as soon as warm, have the tai

they will be found bright and smooth.
Meal will fatten old sheep better
than whole grain, as they can not mas
tcate the grain well with their poor
teeth. Sheep dislike to eat meal, as 1t
flies up into their nostrils. This trouble
can easily be remedied by wetting it
slightly, or, what is better, cut the hay,
wet it and sprinkle the meal over it

1t is said u small lath loosely sus-
pended about eighteen inches above the
perch of the rooster will prevent him
from growing at unreasonable hours.
The lath will not interfere with the
birds roosting, but the moment he
stretches his neck to crow his head will
come i'll contact with the lath and he
will desist. - Chicago Journal.
The Spanish method of making
paste for pies is as follows: Put two
pounds of sifted white flour into bowl,
cut in it half a pound of lard and four
spoons butter, six beaten eggs, half
pound white sugar. Knead this long
time until well mixed. If the paste is
too soft to knead, add sufficient flour to
handle. 1t is said to be excellent.
Very few animals are rs dainty and
choice about their food as the sheep,
says contemporary. At times they
will leave a handful of feed in the
trough when close inspection may
not discover any thing wrong with the
grain; but the sheep have found some
thing in or about it not suitable to their
taste, and so it is left, 1t is generally
true that what one sheep refuses none
of the flock can be induced to eat

A Gate Without Hinges.

A gate can be made without hinges
by having the banging stile somewhat
longer than the front stile, and making
both ends rounded. The lower one is
to work in hole in the end of short
post raised so that soil will not readily
get in, and the upper one works in a
hole made in an oak piece attached to
the top of the gate-post. Gates of this
kind can be made and hung with but
little more expense than bars, and will
be found far more convenient and saw
ing of time than the atter.-Americda

We once had the privilege of looking
at number of rare coins and medals.
The collection, the estimated value Of
which was more than ten thousand dol
lars, was arranged in number of shall
low drawers, each fastened by spring
lock. Noticing that the owner was
careful to close one drawer, and to be
certain that it was locked, before open
ing another, we expressed surprise.
"Ah!' he answered, ''you don't know
the immortality of collectors. There are
few of them who regard the tenth COM
mandment, and many of them will break
the eighth in order to obtain coveted
coin. Experience has made me cautious.
l don't distrust you, for you are not a

Curators of museums and public IL
braries tell us that it is not safe to per-
nit any man or woman, who has a
taste for rare books and autographs, to
go alone into the rooms where these
treasures are kept. One of the most
valuable autographs belonging to the
| collection in the museum at Plymouth,
Mass, was cut out while the guardian s

He should have learned lesson from
the caution shown by the Faculty OF
Paris, when Louis XII. wished to Dor
row from them an Arabian manuscript.
The faculty refused to let it GO out of

Lord Byron sent from Athens a sepul-
chral vase to Sir Walter Scott, and,
what Scott valued even more than tie
vase, a letter. He put the vase on ex-
hibition in his Abbotsford palace, and
left the letter in the urn along with the
bones. In a few weeks, it was missing.
Some visitor, anxious to secure an auto

the success Of the treatment was almost |

first obtained the idea from paper read
before college of science, at recent meet
ing in Paris, by one of the professors In the
University of Lyons. 1t was recommended
SO highly and had shown such gratifying
results in France that Or. Mclaughlin de-
cided to test it in the hospital. He ex-
planned the treatment to the patients, when
thirty of them agreed TO submit to the oper-
alton. To these patients, who were con-
sidered to be suffering from the last Stages
of consumption, two rectal injections OF
earbcnic acid gas prepared by the process
given by the French physicians were given
each day. all the medicine being abandoned.
The patients at once began to show signs
of Improvement. The night sweats ceased
as if by magic the almost constant pains
from which they suffered vanished, the eX-

How far the improvement will continue
